My husband is trying to get his fingerprint report from the RCMP but we don't have any way to pay the $25. We both live in japan and he hasn't been a student in Canada for years - we have no ties to the country other than it being a place he used to live. No friends who can help us out either. The RCMP will only accept Canadian certified cheque or money order or Amex travellers cheques (which only come in denominations of $20, 50, 100 or 500 with the RCMP only accepting the exact amount). The Canadian embassy in Japan has nothing to say other than "we don't know" and the RCMP have stopped responding to our emails and phone calls. The frustration level is getting very high and I'd hate for this to be the thing that stops up our whole process. Any advice?

The banks claim that it's either not possible, non-existant, or that it will cost something like $100 in fees on top of the actual $25 check. When we agreed to pay the fee, suddenly they didn't know how to do it anymore.

Maybe a kindly VJ member in Canada can communicate with you privately, and you can arrange for him/her to purchase a money order in Canada for the $25 and send it to you.
